We cannot say enough wonderful things about Laura! She was incredibly patient, warm, and engaging with our very energetic (and not-so-compliant!) 6-year-old and she somehow managed to turn what could have been a stressful shoot into pure fun. She worked her magic, helping him laugh, engage, and genuinely smile and the photos she captured were absolutely stunning! Laura's creative eye and easygoing, flexible energy made the entire experience so enjoyable. She guided us effortlessly through poses while still keeping things natural and relaxed. We were honestly amazed at how many beautiful shots she delivered and even more impressed by how quickly she turned them around. Our sunset beach photos are truly breathtaking, the kind you'll treasure forever. Laura has an incredible gift for capturing authentic, joyful moments, and we will only use her for family photos from now on. With Laura, you're guaranteed to walk away laughing, with gorgeous memories and photos to last a lifetime! read more

We can't say enough good things about Laura!!Taking family photos with a 2 month old, a 1 year old, and our golden retriever sounded like a total challenge, but somehow she made it fun and was able to keep everyone attention. The pictures turned out so good!! If you're thinking about family portraits, especially with little ones or pets, you will be glad you choose Laura. Truly the best! read more

Laura did a wonderful job with our baby photos, we love the results! She's great, many photographers did not want to do newborn shoots after the first few weeks as the baby is less sleepy/ more fussy but Laura was willing to do it, at a reasonable price and her sets were lovely. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to her for another baby photo shoot! read more

Laura did my daughter's newborn photos and they turned out so precious! We're really happy that we went to her to get them done. She's very professional, kind and has a variety of different options to choose from for the photoshoot. I had some inspiration pictures from pinterest that I sent her and she recreated them for our pictures beautifully! I thought there would only be a couple different outfits/settings but Laura put her in a variety of little outfits and they all turned out so precious! We did a newborn mini session and her prices are really reasonable compared to other newborn photographers I looked into. She includes 20 pictures in the session fee with the option to buy more, most of the other photographers I looked into in Orange County have session fees without any photos or just a few photos included in that price. We had a really great experience with her and definitely recommend! read more

We did our newborn session with Laura and couldn't be happier. She did an amazing job getting the cutest faces and poses with our little guy. It takes a real master to get a baby to cooperate and she is exactly that! We'll be coming back to do more photo sessions for sure! read more

As many have mentioned here Laura is so talented! I thought i left a review last time, but i didnt! She takes beautiful photos. She makes our kids smile and laugh and gets amazing shots even when our kids were so hard to get to sit still. It's hard work. She is so patient and knows exactly what she's doing. Im so glad I found you Laura! Thank you so much. Wishing all the best to you & your family read more

Laura is AMAZING! We did my sons newborn pictures with her and after searching for hours on instagram trying to find someone who captures the simplicity of a new baby, i finally found laura's page and fell in love!!! She is so good at soothing your baby and my son didn't cry at all (which isn't normal for him when he's just in his diaper!). She was super kind and attentive and made sure we got all the shots that I had brought for inspo on what we were looking for! Definitely recommend Laura!! read more

We did a mini session with Laura for family photos and she did not disappoint! I was a little nervous because my little one wasn't totally cooperating but I was so delighted when she sent the photos and she somehow captured some good ones! She was also more than generous with her time and the images. Her style of editing and the color is also gorgeous and flattering (I work in beauty so trust me on this). Big thanks to Laura!! read more

We were able to get an appointment on short notice for a newborn photo shoot. Laura was responsive to my inquiry and subsequent email questions. The night before our appointment, she sent a reminder along with tips to prepare for the shoot. She was professional, friendly, and handled our son effectively and efficiently, all while capturing amazing shots. She stuck to her two week turn around time on providing proofs and quickly gave us our files after we made our selections. On top of that, she was very reasonably priced compared to others when I shopped around. Thank you for the wonderful experience and more importantly, the fabulous pics which we will treasure! read more

This is overdue but Laura did our twins maternity and newborn photos and a separate shoot for my daughter. Was happy with all the photos (have several as canvas in our home) and would highly recommend her work! She was great with the kiddos and had photos back when she promised I'd have them. read more

Laura was absolutely incredible to work with! After looking into multiple OC newborn photographers, we went with Laura and we are so happy that we did! She was so patient, thorough in answering questions, kind, and creative. She's also great with newborns and young children! We were nervous about this as we wanted both our newborn and his big sister photographed together. Laura made both kids calm and engaged. Such a baby whisperer! The photos came out so stunning! We can't wait to post them everywhere. Laura had all final photography edits ready very quickly and made it easy for us to access everything. If you're on the fence about who to go with, don't look any further! Book with Laura and you'll be happy that you did. read more

Laura took our first daughter's newborn photos 2 years ago and they were amazing. We just had our second daughter and went back to Laura for newborn photos again because we were so pleased with her work last time. She worked a miracle this time! We brought a toddler who hadn't napped and a newborn who had already been asleep for two+ hours (hadn't eaten) and she somehow got us a whole gallery of amazing photos! I honestly teared up when going through the gallery. I am beyond happy with how they turned out. I cannot recommend Laura strongly enough! Thank you, Laura, for capturing our sweet babes & for the great family photos we'll treasure forever! p.s. my husband calls her the baby whisperer ;) read more

Laura has been amazing to work with! We got newborn photos with our firstborn in 2021, and the photos were stunning. Then, we booked her for a recent maternity shoot for our second pregnancy. We decided to do a beach location, but our toddler was completely distracted. I thought we didn't get any good photos because our little one was more occupied with the sand than smiling for the camera. BUT!! The photos turned out AMAZING!! I don't know how she was able to capture us at our best when we were struggling with our two-year-old, but she took some priceless shots. She is easy to work with, accommodating, and nice. I highly recommend her. read more

Laura is amazing. She works with your schedule and is very professional. I had to reschedule my appointment since my son had eye infection. She was very understanding and rescheduled our appointment. Her studio is very neat and clean with so many different photo props and decorations. She was very patient with our newborn and took her time to make sure he was calm and ready to take pictures. She is a professional and Her job is work of art. I highly recommend her :) read more

Laura and Brad was referred to us by a colleague and we did our maternity and newborn photoshoot with Laura and the whole process was smooth and easy. Laura was on time for our session and captures some amazing maternity pictures for us and turn around time to get proofs was quick too. The newborn shoot was something we were a bit worried about given babies can be very fussy at times, but we just followed the steps Laura provided on when to feed baby and how to dress them and when we arrived at the studio, Laura took care of the baby and whole process was a breeze. We would absolutely recommend Laura and Brad for your next photoshoot and we definitely plan to have more photoshoots done with them. read more

We had Laura take maternity and newborn photos for our family. She was very pleasant to work with and the pictures turned out great. The communication was smooth, the photo sessions were fun, and the final products were delivered on time. Laura was accommodating for my 1-year-old son who had mood swings and my dog. Her patience and kindness were very much appreciated. read more

Laura was accommodating in scheduling an appointment for our 2 week old. She's patient and takes her time in getting the right photos for you. We were able to bring your older son back so that we could have both our 6 year old and our new baby together. Both sessions were successful and now we have beautiful photos that captured the moment in time when big brother was posing with his baby brother for the first time. Many thanks! And high recommendations! read more

Laura did an amazing job capturing our baby girl's personality on camera! Before arriving at the studio, my husband and I were afraid that our baby would get fussy and cry once she woke up from her nap. However, Laura was so gentle with her that she did not cry throughout the whole session. We received the pictures after 2 weeks and we loved each and everyone of them! We will definitely recommend her to our family and friends! read more

Had a fantastic session with my two newborn twins. I took my son to Target portrait studios when he was born and we had to help out with him alot because the photographer didn't know how to take pictures/handle a newborn. With Laura, we didn't have to worry about any of that. Laura and her assistant handled our fragile newborns without any of our help which allowed tired mom and dad to relax. The photos came out amazing. I love them so much looking forward to our 6 month session !!! read more

We couldn't be happier with the way our son's newborn photos came out! Laura is quite literally the baby whisperer, she was unbelievably calm and gentle with our one week old baby. She knew exactly what he needed to help him stay relaxed. Her studio is so beautiful! Not only was she great with our baby, but she also knew how to pose my husband and I - neither of us are very photogenic but she somehow captured such amazing photos.

I just had our family photos done with Brad & I couldn't be happier!! Honestly, I didn't even feel like we were taking pictures. It felt like more of an afternoon with my family, just hanging out on the beach playing with my kids. Brad has a great personality, which makes you feel relaxed. As a mom, I've always felt stressed doing family photos, I didn't feel that way at all this time. Brad was polite, funny & professional! He was making us all laugh the whole time, even my husband! Brad is more than just a photographer, he's an experience that you'll never forget!! I'm in love with our photos & so thankful for the images he captured!! When you book your family photo sessions with Brad, you will not be disappointed!! Thank you so much for an amazing family photo session!! read more

Laura took our maternity photos and will be taking our newborn photos soon. The maternity photos are beautiful - she even worked in our dog! We are so happy with how the photos turned out. She knew exactly what photos would look good and told us exactly how to pose, which is great for someone like me who is a little shy about getting professional photos taken. Not only was the quality of her work top-notch, but she was incredibly kind and professional and had the photo gallery to us in only two weeks, with a USB mailed to us shortly after. There's no pressure to buy photos - the pictures are yours! Her prices are super reasonable, especially when considering the quality of her work. In short, Laura was fantastic, her pictures were gorgeous, and we'll absolutely come to her again for more pictures as the baby grows up! read more

Laura does an amazing job of capturing my child's essence (4 and 5 years old). I would like Laura to capture her childhood and adolescent years as the future unfolds.

We were visiting California for a family vacation and wanted to do our yearly family photos in CA and I can't say how lucky we are that we found Laura to capture this special session! She was so kind and so easy to talk to and great communication even before the session. We got our pictures back quick also! She truly did amazing work. The photos are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined!! If I could I would go back to her every year! Thank you so much Laura!! read more

One year later, We worked with Laura again for one son's 1-year photo at Treasure island Laguna beach. On the day of the photo, she brought the cutest props and ready to go. The place was like a zoo. In trying to avoid people, taking necessary covid precautions, juggling a fuzzy one-year-old, who has not seen this many people before, I was feeling overwhelmed. Laura quickly secured a spot for us to shoot and tried her best to entertain my son long enough to have a few photos and switch to a quieter side of the beach and got some more photos. I didn't have too many expectations as I was so consuming to calm my son and don't even remember if I sucked in my belly in the photos or not. The pictures came out again amazing. There are enough good photos, where my son is kind of between smiling and screaming but more like smiling, we could make holiday cards, make nice prints for our stairs photo exhibits. Thank you so much, Laura! You truly captured our life happy and interesting moments. read more

We were so lucky to have Brad for my boy's birthday party, we absolutely love the photos! Everybody's captured, and so many beautiful smiles, can't wait for the next event to have them again! read more
